Panasonic GH5 Sample 4K Video in 8/10Bit and Slow Motion

Is “10-Bit” 4K Video Worth It on the Panasonic GH5?

In a word…yes.

The difference between 8-bit 4k video and 10-bit 4k video is huge. Not so much when you are just shooting video and leaving it at that but the difference is noticeable when editing or using green screen. I am pretty sure I also see a greater sharpness in the 10-bit footage too…

Check out some of my early sample footage here:

My early thoughts on the Panasonic GH5 are that it is not just an updated GH4, but it is more of a complete re-working of an already capable and impressive GH4.

The additional features on the GH5 and improved video quality make it one of the best cameras at this price point that I have seen. The only thing that let down the Panasonic GH4 for me was the stills quality so I never used it for that.

If the Panasonic GH5 can produce great stills, and I already know the answer that is coming in the next blog post, it could well become my most used, most carried around camera…
